Description
**High-Security Access Control Solutions for Controlled Areas:**
**HID’s pivCLASS Readers**
– **Comprehensive Integration:** These readers are part of a single, trusted provider’s comprehensive access control solutions, ensuring interoperability, high security, and compliance with FIPS 201 and TWIC Reader Specifications.
– **Field Upgradable:** Readers can be reconfigured in the field, allowing upgrades to higher assurance levels by adding contact or biometric sidecars for enhanced security.
– **Transitional Capabilities:** Designed as transitional readers, they can seamlessly read PIV, PIV-I, CAC, CIV, TWIC, FRAC, iCLASS®, and HID Prox® credentials, facilitating a smooth migration from legacy systems to advanced PKI-enabled smart cards.
– **Versatile Usage:** This contactless reader with a keypad is ideal for “Uncontrolled” security areas, implementing a “PIN to PACS” approach compatible with both legacy and FIPS-201 cards.
**Advanced Compliance and Authentication:**
– **FICAM Transition:** HID Global’s pivCLASS Government Solutions allow for cost-effective upgrades of existing physical access control systems (PACS) to achieve FIPS 201/FICAM compliance without needing a complete overhaul. The RK40 and RPK40 models cater to various use cases en route to complete FICAM compliance.
– **FICAM Compliant Configuration:** Achieve FICAM compliance by integrating the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) for single-factor strong authentication, supporting NIST SP 800-116’s CHUID + VIS and CAK modes.
– **Two-Factor Authentication:** By adding the HID pivCLASS contact reader sidecar, two-factor authentication is possible with CHUID + VIS and CAK over both contactless and contact interfaces, plus PKI + PIN authentication with match-on-card capabilities.
– **Three-Factor Authentication:** Enhanced security with the addition of the HID pivCLASS contact and biometric reader sidecar. This configuration supports biometric verification by adding a sensor for robust authentication, including CHUID + VIS, CAK, and PKI + PIN + BIO modes over both interfaces.
These solutions ensure facilities can efficiently transition their access control systems to meet modern compliance and security standards without extensive system replacements, supporting a flexible path toward high-assurance PKI-enabled environments.
